15/12/08 - This evening has been very educational. Whilst browsing the web for tips on cross-processing my digital files in photoshop CS2 I came across a website ( www.thelightsrightstudio.com ) that offer free Photoshop Actions. These actions are very simple to use and allow you to edit photographs using weird and wonderfull techniques. There is a cross-processing action which allows you to replicate a technique used by colour negative/slide photographers who would deliberately process the film in the wrong chemicals to get extreme colours and weird effects. I also downloaded a plugin that allows me to convert colour photographs into black and white using filters to darken/lighten certain colours in the film when converting to black and white, the site even offers an action that replicates orthochromatic film ( thinking of Tom here ).
So i have decided to mess about with a selection of the effects on a portrait of my friend Colette from earlier this year.
The first image is the original, the second has been Cross Processed
The 3rd image has been converted with a Yellow and Green Filter, The 4th image has been converted using Infrared.
The 5th image has been converted to look like Orthochromatic film. The final image is the same as the 3rd image only with Split Toning.
